Vendea Binoche was born in a small village by her human mother who died soon after the difficult birth leaving the child rearing to be left up to her Elven father.
Her father raised her the best way he knew how. Having been a wanderer the majority of his years, he trained her as she grew with those same skills. As such, she knew from a very young age about hunting, tracking, and the various languages one might encounter.
As she grew older, her father then related the tale about his own heritage as well as that of her mother's whom he had deeply loved. He encouraged Vendea to wander about as she pleased and to make her own discoveries.
Explore she did as she made frequent trips back to the place of her birth and more places beyond but never failed to eventually return home with some story or other to tell to her father.
One day, her father was called off to aid in a battle in a distant land. He left her in the care of the elves that had taken him in as one of their own and as such it had become Vendea and his home.
Vendea waited for months with no word or return of her father. Yet, one fatefull evening, a messenger arrived to report to the elves of those of their own that had perished in the battle and Vendea's father was among that list of names.
She mourned the loss of this her only other family member, to her knowledge, and then dedicated herself to the skills that her father had tried to instill in her all of his life.
By the time she had truly come of age as one of her species could, she had greatly added to her skills and yet had also distanced herself from others.
She found her only solace on the road traveling from place to place. Her source of money came from being hired for various tasks. From simply delivering a package over a long distance to hunting down and killing evil men whom had done some grievous wrong.
In this period of her life, she hid her true name of Vendea behind her and took on the name of her mother Katherina. As her elven ears were smaller, she could easily hide them under a hood or her own hair so as to not only seem more approachable to common folk but also to have those who would do her harm to underestimate her abilities.
Her travels carried her far and wide and would lead her to eventually hear of the upheavals in Estara. Knowing that such a realm would need those with a keen eye and the ability to aid if such a need should arise, she made ready what she would need for the journey. With her goal in mind, she made her way to this realm of Estara to see what she could discover.
